Lily hasn’t
always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life
she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew
up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business.
So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid,
everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true.

Ryle is
assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive,
brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs
certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete
aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming
the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him
that way in the first place.

As questions
about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan—her
first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit,
her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with
Ryle is threatened.

With this
bold and deeply personal novel, Colleen Hoover delivers a heart-wrenching story
that breaks exciting new ground for her as a writer. Combining a captivating
romance with a cast of all-too-human characters, It Ends With Us is an
unforgettable tale of love that comes at the ultimate price.

This book was received by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Colleen Hoover is just amazing. Something about her books
inspire me and I can see why this book is changing people’s lives.

Lily is an awe-inspiring character. I think it is best to go
into this novel completely blind so I don’t want to spoil anything at all. But
really all you need to know is Lily is incredibly strong, stronger than any
other character I’ve read about. If I was ever in her situation, I can only
hope I would be as strong as her.

Atlas was a perfect gentleman. I fell in love with him
instantly and he held my heart throughout. He is respectful and nice and
perfect. Again, if I was in the same situation as Lily, Atlas is the only man I
would ever want by my side.

The plot of this standalone is incredible. Again, I am so
glad that the synopsis gives nothing away because it would detract from the
beauty of going in blind. Seriously, avoid spoilers for this book at all
costs!!!!

Oh and the ‘note from the author’ at the end is beautiful. I
shed tears from it alone. As always, I cannot wait for what she has in store
next.

Rating: 5/5 Tar Heels!

Feyre survived
Amarantha's clutches to return to the Spring Court—but at a steep cost. Though
she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can't
forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin's people.

Nor has Feyre
forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As
Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a
greater evil looms—and she might be key to stopping it. But only if she can
harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes
to shape her future—and the future of a world cleaved in two.

With more than
a million copies sold of her beloved Throne of Glass series, Sarah J. Maas's
masterful storytelling brings this second book in her seductive and
action-packed series to new heights.

I absolutely cannot express how much I love and adore this
series of Sarah’s. Well, really both of her best selling fantasy series. I
can’t stress how amazing the sequel to A Court of Rose and Thorns was, but I
will attempt it!

Feyre has grown so much in this installment and it amazed
me. She was not in a good place in the beginning but those around her could not
see the darkness that was enveloping her. She needed to escape and luckily she
was able to. Her strength is one of the strongest I’ve ever seen and I have
never been more inspired by a heroine. She does not rely on anyone, even the
hero, like so many others do.

Speaking of the sexiest hero ever….the award goes to
Rhysand, High Lord of the Night Court. Oh my goodness I was constantly swooning
in his presence and with every word he said. I am also in awe of him, since
there is nothing I love more than a man who knows the strength of his woman and
knows that they do not need assistance. He is the perfect companion for Feyre!

I am in love with every single word that Sarah writes. I
could not (willingly) put the book down, and when I was forced to, it was
always on my mind. The romance in the sequel is breathtakingly beautiful. The
slow build made it really worth it for me. When the culmination happened…wow.
Let me tell you, there was nothing better!

When the third and final installment of one of my favorite
series comes out, I will run to the bookstore with bells on.

Favorite Swoon-worthy Quote: So I turned around
again, meeting Rhysand’s now-blazing eyes, and then licked up the column of his
throat. Wind and sea and citrus and sweat. It almost undid me. I faced forward
and Rhys dragged his mouth along the back of my neck, right over my spine, just
as I shifted against the hardness pushing into me, insistent and dominating.
Precisely as his hand slid a bit too high on my inner thigh.
